Danish Government to Open New Embassies in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Moldova, and Malaysia in 2024, Reversing Decision to Close Embassy in Tanzania

The Danish Government has announced plans to open new embassies in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Moldova, and Malaysia in 2024. This decision is part of Denmark's new foreign and security policy strategy to strengthen its diplomatic presence in key regions globally. The move aims to support Denmark's position in the world and build new alliances, especially in the face of increasing global insecurity and unpredictability.

By establishing an embassy in Moldova, Denmark will have diplomatic representation in every frontline state to Ukraine. The embassy in Bosnia and Herzegovina will enhance Denmark's presence in the Balkans, supporting efforts to stabilize the region, build resilience, and promote Bosnian steps towards EU membership.

Additionally, the decision to close the embassy in Tanzania has been shelved, emphasizing Denmark's commitment to expanding partnerships beyond the Western world and facilitating access to vital perspectives in central regions.
